The system parameters: each launch vehicle has six launch tubes; radar maximum detection distance of 140 km; missile range of 3 km to 50 km; height of 5 to 20 km; speed 3 Mach.

LY-80 (Falcon-80) air defense missile is actually the red flag -16A land-based air defense missile export-oriented, in 2011, Turkey International Defense Exhibition blockbuster, and the red flag -16A land-based air defense missile is the red flag -16 Air Missile Land Base Model.

good development.. HQ-9 and Chinese ABM system should be next step..

According to think tanks here in PDF...ABM is a waste of money. So it's not required for pak.

Pakistan inducts 8 units of IBIS-150Ad radar(Max detection range of 140 KM) and 24 HQ16A launching vehicles( each vehicle has 6 launching canisters, Max range of 50 KM, Max speed 3 Mach ). Source confirmed. The contract was signed back in year 2012 to 2013. The total contract is worth 340 millions UsD. The delivery was completed at the end of last year.

This info. is not accurate. Pakistan purchased 9 systems (worth $599 million) till mid 2015 according to Ministry of Defence Production. And 8 IBIS-150 radars for $40 million.

Pardon my ignorance but it is stated can hit target from.... 400m.... What if a target fly below 400m ? Have any kind of very low interception apart sending jets ?

This system also help with AAM as well.

Pakistan has made two purchases in the past

FM-90 done
LY-80 Done

Next step HQ-9

China and Pakistan have held talks over the procurement of FT-2000 SAMs since the early 2000s, without ever concluding a deal. Pakistan did finally place an order for medium-range HQ-16 (Hongqi-16) SAM systems in 2014

The HQ-9 is a derivative of the Russian-made S-300 long-range SAM system and can engage aircraft, cruise missiles, and theater ballistic missiles. With an operational range of 125 kilometers (77 miles), the FT-2000 export variant purportedly has a shorter range than the domestic HQ-9 SAM in use with the Chinese military, which allegedly has a reach of 200 kilometers (124 miles).

i would have liked us to actual build systems we require in huge numbers as joint ventures

they would include a SAM,utility helicopters, main fighter and tanks
we have been doing good when it comes to fighters and tanks that was primary due to sanctions of 1990s, it time Pakistan find partners in other two domains

 

[HAIDER]

Don't know how to and which system should be matched. Because Chinese start taking delivery of S400 and recently S300 system be upgraded. Chinese prime air defence system based on Russian equipment. If its lower then S300 or just copy then , have doubts about the performance of this system ..keep Indian latest defence procurement

 

[ziaulislam]

A very good system to protect armored division from Gunship helicopters...

thaw would be the job of short range FM 90 or ultra short Anza

I agree ... its a waiste at current tech level

 

[kaonalpha]

To all the keyboard warriors. The system inducted is a slightly advanced version of the LY-80 A. It is one of three regiments. This system will be under the 1st LOWMAD Regiment.

The only draw back being the system can not hit receding targets. Which is being looked into and will be resolved soon.

FM-90 done
LY-80 Done

Next step HQ-9

The story has already gone beyond that

Can you enlighten us? Whats a receding target??

 

[BHarwana]

Can you enlighten us? Whats a receding target??

The target that is moving away.
But he has forgotten that it is a MR SAM and for receding targets you use LR SAMs and The problem of receding targets can be resolved by AAM as this system can increase the range of AAM and is well collaborated with JF-17 payload and will increase the range of AAM to 70% for receding targets.

for me as well, but it always good to have something then nothing.. I am sure like Pakistani BM's your BMs too have counter measure against ABMs. 2nd ABMs will not cost as much as yours since we have to cover less territory then you..
